I feel a bit like a vulture, but with the announcement that Borders is indeed closing its doors forever, I immediately began to scour the internet for Borders in the San Francisco area. It was actually a bit more challenging than I had presumed, since many closed during the spring, but I persevered and located a few potential options for purchasing books-on-sale.
On Saturday I broached the idea of making a Sunday Borders run, and Stan immediately countered with "Do you need more books?" I think I blinked my eyes and looked dumbfounded. I'm an intelligent woman. I played that sentence over in my head. Yes, I knew all the words. I could parse that sentence. Heck, I could even diagram that sentence with ease, but still... the words did not compute. Do. I. need. more. books. Nope. No idea what that even means.
After some spluttering and attempts at coherency, Stan watched me process that question, sighed, and said, "This is the last time we're going to have this conversation, isn't it?"
I'm relieved we understood each other ;-)
